Now as their gap aeon draws to a close, the gods are setting off to manage their own affairs.</p> <p>Single mother Mary ruefully recalled the time she dragged Jesus round to Quetzlcoatl’s mum’s house to make him apologise for his followers’ genocide of the Incas. “He can be a very loving boy, but I’m tired of doing everything for him – he just never seems to get involved. Time to move on. It’s a blessing really”</p> <p>Waving goodbye to Baal as he set off in a rusty Fiesta crammed with bags, boxes and a stained duvet, Samira was more forthright, “Good riddance, he treated this house like a hotel. His brazen bull was in a shocking state and we’ve never had a word of thanks. It’s very frustrating, after all the sacrifices we’ve made for him”</p> <p>Following weeks of protests across the world over a blasphemous film, believers devoutly hope that when future differences of opinion arise, the gods will thrash it all out amongst themselves in a frenzy of thunderbolts, scimitars and doves, then become the best of friends again.</p> <p>Wiping a tear from her eye, Sarah Goldstein sighed “It will be a wrench to see him go, just like when Mercury flew the nest, but they have to grow up and little Yahweh was getting to be quite a handful. Sometimes he just doesn’t know his own omnipotence” </p>
